“Social Justice: Changing the way we teach, engage, and facilitate”

Ray — Sun, 05 May 2013 23:42:21 +0000

The promise of ending educational inequity and the achievement gap rests upon teacher educators, researchers and community activists in Deaf education who are committed to social justice and multiculturalism. This seminar will give participants space to become acquainted with one other’s role and their experiences. This time will also enable us to understand the true meaning of “Social Justice” and brainstorm how we can work together.

The seminar includes a presentation, a demonstration of what a multicultural curriculum geared towards Deaf and HOH students should include, recommendations, and the opportunity to exchange ideas and stories. Sessions will be facilitated by former multicultural/diversity specialists, former/current teachers (k-12, college), administrators, curriculum developers, and researchers. This is an excellent opportunity for school administrators, principals, diversity specialists, counselors, and especially teachers, to learn how to infuse multicultural perspective in the curriculum used in schools- one that will benefit the school and community as a whole in promoting social justice.

From this seminar, participants will leave with:

Curriculum resources and recommendations, including online access to multicultural social justice centered curriculum designed for Deaf/HOH students
Tips for culturally sensitive training of teachers/school staff
Visual demonstrations of multicultural activities that can be done with students
Topics on how to facilitate dialogue in the classroom
A checklist of how to review culturally appropriate curriculum materials
Have the opportunity to meet other individuals and develop support and network
A better understanding of we can do as an alliance to push for Social Justice in Deaf Education.

And more…

HI/DI Working Together– Why and How?

Ray — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:27:42 +0000

HI/DI Working Together– Why and How? Ray Kenney; CDI and Nancy Berlove: SC:L

While other states automatically place CDIs on jobs, in New York it is often left to the hearing interpreter to determine the need. What criteria could be considered in evaluating the need for a CDI – is it just because the HI (Hearing interpreter) lacks skill or are there other reasons for it?

This workshop is designed for working Deaf and Hearing interpreters regardless of your previous experience working as DI/HI. We will examine the working team: what to expect from each other, the logistics of how it works, how to explain the process to hearing and deaf consumers, and what language to use with requesting parties when explaining the need for this team.

April 26 2013, 6-9 PM and April 27 9-5, and April 28 9-3 More details to come soon. Still working on location (Rochester, NY). For more information check www.gvrrid.org or contact Amanda at agmoyer@gmail.com
